Re:PRP Midreign - 2006/04/19 20:55
The Midreign of Rosetta Pact is upon us, folks. I hope that many of you are
making your final preparations to attend. This email should give the
finalized details for this Midreign Event for this weekend, April 22nd, in
Starmount (St. Paul, MN).
The midreign celebration will include the weaponmaster tournament, the
dragonmaster competition, and the midreign feast. The cost for the event is
$5 total for all participants above the age of 14.
Weaponmaster
The weaponmaster tournament will consist of the corpora-mandated weapons
combinations. They will be fought in the following order: single short
sword, short sword and shield, florentine short swords, great weapon, open
weapon, and two person teams. Points will be awarded for 1st (5), 2nd (3),
and 3rd (1) place. Sign-ins will close as the events are seeded. Seeding
will begin at the conclusion of the previous event. Sign-ins will open at
12pm and sign-ins for single short sword will close at 1pm. The tournament
will be double elimination.
Dragonmaster
We've assembled a judging panel from all across Rosetta Pact. Sign-ins for
the cultural tournament will open at 12pm and close at 1pm. Entrants will be
required to fill out an entry tag for each item. Copies of these tags (in
Word format) have been uploaded to each of the individual park's yahoogroups
in the File section for your convenience. There will also be copies of these
tags available during sign-in at the park. There will be only limited access
to electricity at the site so cooking entries that are served hot will be
problematic. You will need to make your own arrangements for heating. The
park does not allow alcohol of any kind on its grounds, so any alcoholic
entries will need to be judged separately from the time at the park. Contact
me directly if you have plans to enter an alcholic entry.
Dragonmaster Scoring:
The raw score for an individual entry will be from 1.0 (lowest) to 5.0
(highest).The contributing score of each item that a person enters will be
its raw score minus 3.0 (since 3.0 is considered average). The total score
for each person will be the sum of the scores of each of the items entered
by that person. Thus, entering 10 items that each score 3.1 is equivalent to
entering 1 item that scores 4.0. If there is a tie in the total scoring
then, of the two tied entrants, the entrant with the highest-scoring
individual item will be declared the Dragonmaster.
Midreign Feast
We will begin serving the feast by 7pm. The menu is shown below.
Appetizer- French Fried Vegetable Chips (Parsnip, Carrot, Potato, Yam),
Cheese Tomato Dip.
Entree- Skewered Grilled Amish Chicken Strips, Basmati Rice, Roasted
Vegetables (zucchinni, squash, eggplant, onion, red and yellow peppers),
Baby Spring Greens with a light balsamic vinaigrette, Rolls.
Dessert- Brownies and Izzy's Ice Cream!
Following the feast there will be a fire in the fire pit outside the feast
hall. Music and other merry-making are encouraged until the park closes
(11pm).
Directions to the Event
The venue for Midreign will be Newell Park in St. Paul, MN (not Apple
Valley!). Newell Park is at the corner of Hewitt and Fairview. Take
Interstate 94 (either east or west, depending on where you are coming from)
and take the Snelling Avenue exit. Turn north onto Snelling (right if
westbound, left if eastbound). There will be a number of stoplights on
Snelling. After you pass the stoplight on Minnehaha Avenue, it is just
another few blocks to Hewiit. Take a left onto Hewitt. The park will be on
the righthand side, a few blocks down. Parking is on the street, although
there is a parking lot on Fairview that will be near to the A&S sign-in
areas.
Strategies for getting to I-94.
From points south and west of St. Paul (Gehenna Plains, Olympus, Querna
Tema). You will probably be taking I-35 northbouth to the Twin Cities. In
the southern Twin Cities, I-35 splits into western and eastern legs of the
interstate. Follow 35W northbound. 35W will eventually join I-94 near
downtown Minneapolis. Take I-94 eastbound and follow the directions above.
From points east (North Haven). If you're coming from Chicago, its likely
that you'll take I-94 westbound the whole way. There's probably little that
I can do to help you.
